Man Utd Have Man City Transfer Target Who PSG Offered €7M Net Salary on Shortlist
PSG are dealing with growing uncertainty at the goalkeeper position, and Lucas Chevalier has surfaced as a potential long-term answer. While Gianluigi Donnarumma is under contract through 2026, talks over an extension have yet to produce an agreement. According to L'Équipe, Donnarumma began considering a departure from PSG even before the European season ended, despite publicly maintaining his commitment to the club. The report also notes that Manchester United and Manchester City have shown interest in the Italian since June. PSG are aiming to wrap up Chevalier's signing before making any decision on Donnarumma's future. Does Man Utd want to pursue PSG standout this summer?CaughtOffside reported Saturday that Donnarumma is among the top targets on Manchester United's shortlist. PSG have been in contract talks with the goalkeeper for more than a year, but despite offering him a €7 million net salary and €3 million in bonuses, the proposal didn't meet his expectations. Donnarumma has decided not to extend his deal, and with only one year left on his contract, PSG are prepared to sell him this summer. However, Manchester United may not be in a position to make a move. According to the Manchester Evening News, the club doesn't currently have a budget for a new No. 1 goalkeeper. Even so, Andre Onana is not expected to leave. He's reportedly committed to staying at Manchester United and has been assured he won't be sold or replaced.

Marcus Rashford Exit Allows Man Utd to Pursue Newcastle Target Amid PSG Doubt
During his loan at Juventus, Randal Kolo Muani made a strong impact, contributing to 10 goals in 19 appearances across all competitions. However, with no agreement yet between Juventus and PSG, his future remains uncertain — leaving the door open for Premier League clubs to show interest. PSG hope his solid run in Turin will help raise his market value ahead of the summer transfer window. The club aims to recover at least half of the €95 million they spent to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023. Playing time was limited under Luis Enrique at PSG, where Kolo Muani started just twice all season. His next step could depend on how he fits into Juventus' plans under new head coach Igor Tudor, who replaced Thiago Motta and gradually gave him more opportunities. He earned regular minutes toward the end of the 2024-25 campaign, so now the question is — where will he be next season? Could PSG outcast be headed to Old Trafford?ESPN reported on Friday that Marcus Rashford's departure has opened up some financial flexibility for Manchester United, and Kolo Muani is reportedly on the club's shortlist. Kolo Muani has made it clear he does not want to stay at PSG and has been offered to several teams, including Newcastle and Manchester United, both of which are in need of a striker. PSG is willing to accept a loan deal that includes a mandatory purchase option set at €50 million. Meanwhile, Juventus, where Kolo Muani spent the second half of last season on loan, faces financial challenges that make signing him permanently difficult.
